How come it's in for a respray Jeff? I see there obviously been a few dings filled but was it just for a freshin up?

That's it exactly.
A lot of the spare time I have now was spent trying to get her back in shape but when I counted all the 'trolly dings' and the light scrapes I had awarded her over the last5 years, along with the swirls and light scratches from previous owners, I thought I'd treat her to a full massage and titivation.
the wife got her new bathroom... I get a tidy looking car :)

fair 'nuff! Should look mint when it's done. I presume it's just a basic exterior re-spray?

Nice one Jeff. I'm sure she'll look stunning when it's finished. You must post lots of pictures.

It's a pity you can't get a 'respray' for the ladies when they get a bit old and frayed around the edges.  :o
(Mind you, they'd probably say the same about us  ;)).

can't wait to see the finished article, Jeff. I love when they come out of the spray booth looking like glass. And take two car parking spaces in future, save those inconsiderate shoppers the pain of resting their door against yours.

Isn't it funny how 'grey with wrinkles' is 'distinguished' on a man..... say no more :)

There's nothing that shouts "Poor Workmanship"  more than wrinkles in the gaffer tape.....

How about  "my other four is a proper one"

Alternatively, you could always use any of your numerous posts that only seem to make sense to you!  :D
